wedding date: November 9, 2014
Almost two months ago, I got to take engagement photos for a lovely couple, Rebecca and Oren. These guys:

Working with them was effortless and fun as they are such a laid back couple - not afraid to sneak in smooches or show off their goofy side. I was definitely looking forward to their wedding date which finally came! Rebecca and Oren's wedding was not only beautiful, it was a blast! Although the couple wanted a pretty modern wedding with an elegant look at the Manhattan Penthouse, they definitely incorporated traditional Jewish elements and customs into their wedding, not to mention, having perhaps the most beautiful chuppah I have ever seen. It was decorated with a delicate array of fall-like flowers and foliage (like something out of an enchanted elven forest). The vibrant reds, pinks, and yellows, combined with the Manhattan skyline wrapping around the venue brought just the kind of "Autumn in New York" feel they wanted in their wedding. We were all fortunate to have the rooftop deck opened for us, so we popped up there to grab portraits with the city views and setting sun in the background. Rebecca and Oren were smiles throughout, and there was so much laughter - from the ceremony all the way to the dancing at the end of the night. It was the perfect celebration for such a beautiful couple. Mazel Tov! Here is a glimpse from their day...
